Read the first time May 29, 1997.

THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 705), to request the Department of Transportation to name the causeway running through the Pocotaligo Natural Preserve in Clarendon County, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE CAUSEWAY RUNNING THROUGH THE POCOTALIGO NATURAL PRESERVE IN CLARENDON COUNTY IN HONOR OF VIRGINIA RICHARDS SAULS.

Whereas, Virginia Richards Sauls was born into a life of public service as the daughter of the late Governor John G. Richards; and

Whereas, she has spent her entire life working to improve the lives of the residents of the City of Manning and Clarendon County; and

Whereas, Mayor Jerry Robertson of the City of Manning has referred to Mrs. Sauls as one of the area's leading citizens of the twentieth century; and

Whereas, her untiring work toward maintaining the Pocotaligo Natural Preserve and her dedicated service to various garden clubs and other organizations have resulted in the preservation of the Pocotaligo Natural Preserve as a treasure for future generations to enjoy; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the causeway running through the Pocotaligo Natural Preserve that begins at the Manning city limits and continues north to the intersection of United States Highway 301 and United States Highway 521 in Clarendon County be named the "Virginia Richards Sauls Causeway" as a lasting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation designate and name the causeway described in this resolution the "Virginia Richards Sauls Causeway" and install appropriate markers or signs at places along the causeway as the department considers advisable containing the words "Virginia Richards Sauls Causeway".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and Mrs. Virginia Richards Sauls.
